Host Peter H. Smith presents segments on the top-ranked Moores Cancer Center, noted for its collaborative and pioneering research in cancer patient care, followed by a fascinating look at how computers can communicate directly with the human brain, and a tribute to UCSD’s leading role in plant biology for the 21st century.

Hunting the Higgs with Vivek Sharma
More than two dozen UCSD physicists are working with hundreds of other scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, searching for a subatomic particle called the “Higgs boson”. How are they doing it? What have they found thus far? And why is this search considered one of civilization’s greatest quests?
In this fascinating talk, UCSD Professor of Physics Vivek Sharma, who directs the Higgs search for the CMS collaboration, explains what physicists hope to achieve at the world’s largest scientific experiment, involving an estimated 10,000 individuals from 60 countries.
